Re: Intermission 006 - The Blockbuster Bubble

An interesting take on this topic, from the other side of the fence - excerpts from an interview with Ron Meyer, the head of Universal

In which he talks about canceling blockbusters, and also gives a list of which of their recent movies were "shitty".  smile

Yeah, he throws in Babe 2 as shitty.....

Re: Intermission 006 - The Blockbuster Bubble

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised to learn the head of Universal disliked Cowboys and Aliens almost as much as I did.

Speaking of which, is that thing out on video yet?  Prime DIF material, I still think.  It's the Terra Nova of movies.

Re: Intermission 006 - The Blockbuster Bubble

I brought it up a lot on the Iron Man 2 commentary because I don't buy Favreau's excuse about Iron Man 2's shortcomings being all the Avengers fault.  Same sorta story problems I saw in IM2 I saw in C&A.

Huh. This is really weird, but... I find Ron Meyer instantly likeable. I appreciate when guys are as forthright as he is in that interview. Cool beans.
